The 2018 Chuy Chardonnay was sourced from the Vendemia Vineyard which sits atop the Sonoma Valley on the western slope of the Mayacamas range. This 20-acre vineyard of original shot-Wente Chardonnay was planted in 1964 and has been managed organically throughout its life. Situated on a 45-degree slope that angles toward the Pacific Ocean and allowing for views of San Francisco on a clear day. The vineyard has been tended to by Chuy Ordaz for five decades. Each decision above: head-trained, dry farmed, organic management – was a product of Chuy’s long-held belief that grape vines must endure the struggle through tough love farming to ultimately grow old. While Vendemia is the official vineyard name, many esteemed producers simply refer to the bottlings from the site as ‘Chuy Chardonnay’ as it clearly bares the thumbprint of Chuy’s conviction.
